IDE drive not being recognized in Win7.

@Jonathan_King,
I don't even know you, why would you do that? At least let me throw some pics up to verify my situation.

..it's called friendship, and it costs nothing..

@BugMeister,
I know and think it's awesome, I love this comunity, it doesn't get much better than this. Thank you.

Okay i will drop the flag, I do not know how to PM you, walk through please, and I will owe you one. Overclock.net to see my pics, under evolitile in the water cooling section.

I Just registered to post a fix that helped me with this issue.
Have seen numerous queries regarding problems with Win7 not detecting
IDE drives vis USB and hope it will help someone.


Actually it is very simple. Contrary to conventional practice where the HD is supposed to be jumpered as Master, just switch it to "cable select".



Smile.


PS. This was with seagate drives.
